Ibanez Roadstar...

[PhilT]

Can anyone tell me specifically what year/model this is, and about how much they go for?

I really want an Ibanez Roadstar bass but i can't find one anywhere. I've heard they pop up on ebay occasionally but i'd rather but one elsewhere...

Maybe you can tell us serial number?

It should be clear then..

I'll check the model later.

Btw, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25421"]HERE's[/url] a thread, where you can post all your questions about every Ibby

This model started as "Blazer", which are distinguished by the natural oil finish, and simply the name "blazer" on the headstock. Later it was subsumed into the "Roadster" and "Roadstar" family. The early Blazers were AFAIK one pickup jobs, just a P, so this is either a mod or transition model. The Roadstars had PJs mostly, though some had the P alone, and the roadstars were mostly made of basswood bodies which were painted, whilst the early blazers were oil on Ash mostly. Some variations always abound, and you will find the lower level factory output at the time with the same shape and headstock with the brand "Cimar". Theese basses have a fantastic neck , thin and fast.
